hello world!
Syukur alhamdullilah, Izad Jr came out safely at 3:45am, 10 Dec 2005. With a healthy weight of 3.07kg and length of 51.5cm, I can imagine him growing ever so tall!!
I’m really proud of my wife for being so calm and composed throughout the experience. Other than the usual screaming of pain and her constant deep synchronized heavy breathing, she was really amazing. None of the horror stories of the wife biting the husband’s hand seemed to materialize. :)
Her water bag burst at around 3:10am, but just before 3am, she was very sure that the baby was coming out. She had this constipated feeling where she need to pass motion. The midwife called up our gynae at around 3:05am. But just after her bag burst, she felt that izad jr was pushing to get out. So for that 30 minutes, from 3 – 3:30am, my wife was battling to keep the baby in, yep, you heard it right, not out. It was all so tense during the period, the midwives (there were 2 of of them) moving in and out of the room, waiting for the gynae to arrive.
Well finally, our prayers were answered when the doctor arrived around 3:40am. When he took over, and told my wife to part her legs, I could see the baby’s head right up the opening!! Well, the little one was really impatient to get out of his mother’s womb and into the world!
Not suprisingly, the gynae took less than 5 minutes to get the baby out, it was really fuss free, alhamdullilah, no complication, whatsoever!!
i will let her tell you her side of the story next… :)
father figure
well, this should be my maiden posting in my wife’s unnamed blog. she’s been egging me to post something in here, ages ago, since with the added motivation factor, i figure out, why not?
anyway, i was really thrilled to learn that my very good friend, has finally become a father!. yep, it didn’t really sink in when his wife was pregnant. he was still the same guy i knew back then during my pre-u days. i still remember the first time when he approach me. “Kau melayu, ke cina?” he questioned. “Me? chinese? alamak brother, trying to be funny iszit??”, or something in those lines i replied.
we really hit it off straight away, joking about everything under the sun, with raunchy jokes like what mark hoppus, tom delonge and travis barker might spew out from their mouths. hehe…
and i still can’t believe it, both of us got married. we were single back then, with no prospect. sometimes it feels really surreal. both of us, husbands and he now a father, me later in december, still talking and behaving like we are still in school. even our dressings, berms, tees and slippers, so unabang-abanglike my wife would say. but for us, some things just don’t change.
we know of our fellow school mates, who changed totally after marriage, pakai macam abang-abang lo… hehe. opps, i digressing here. ok, back to my point.
perhaps the experience of holding your own child in your arms, would finally sway us to the realms of fatherhood which he is experiencing it right now. me? in december, insya’allah.
